El Luchador's Oscar Yays! & Nays!: Original Score

PROBABLY WILL WIN

UP (Michael Giacchino) - I think this is one that the Golden Globes will be a predictor of. It is a smartly sweet score that harkens back to a time of adventure films and matinee serials. It is such a contrast to the work he has done for the slew of Bad Robot TV shows like "Lost," "Fringe," and "Alias" that it really shows his range. No matter what I think may be more deserved, Giacchino is right up there.


SHOULD WIN

THE INFORMANT! (Marvin Hamlisch) - The only word to describe this score is inspired. Talk about adding to a movie, this score made the film. Had the music been any different it wouldn't have been the same picture, and since that was one of the best, most intelligent, most interesting movies of the year this score played a huge part. It is nothing less than a travesty that it was overlooked
